PLEASE READ MY FRIENDS

Guys, not to mention Girls,

1- I love you all, but chemo implies that I will have little patience for people. So if I don't return your calls, e-mails, sms, immediately, please don't take it personnally and don't quit on me.

2 - The mobile and computer can not be switched on with me at my bed. They fear I could become addicted! Kidding...it can interfere with treatment machines in the ward. I will need to go to a visitors room to use it.

3 - If you would like to visit me, please always let me know in advance, so that my PA (yes I am finalling getting a PA...and the best, myself) when free of chemo can check who is already coming. This way we avoid having too many people at same time...as tiring, remember? Also, for those coming from abroad you can stay at my place if there is space available, OK.

4 - For those staying at my place, always make sure you wash your linen (no worries, there is a washing machine) for the next ones. Leave it drying and after the cleaning lady will do the rest.

5 - Will I want you to buy me something? YES YES oh YES. For those of you in Portugal, sending me a VISAO, Caras and something as light as will be wonderful. Again warn me in advance to check who is sending so that I don't end up long in stock of Caras as a newsstand. For those in London, bring me a newspaper or a light magazine. No Economist alikes or you will kill me of boredom. FT? Well their How to spend it Magazine is pretty inspiring. DVD's and books I should be able to buy on internet.
